This is a movie I wish I enjoyed more. But sometimes there’s a gulf between watching a movie as a general thing and watching a sapphic movie. Luxurious Bone works as an overall movie. But if you watch it as I did, with a focus towards the sapphic element, the film will likely disappoint. 4.9/10
WLW Film Reviews Posts
Let’s Meet Halfway is a technically proficient small indie that does the damnedest with what little it had to work with. I’m going for forget all about it by the end of this week. 5.4/10
acques Audiard took a series of big swings with Emilia Pérez. And he struck out on almost all of them. 4.5/10
I really recommend this one. It’s a great example of a comedy specifically made on a small budget that maximizes all of its good qualities and minimizes its limitations. 7.1/10
As a biopic, I find Marinette slightly below average. I think the film lacks focus and doesn’t do enough justice to the character at its centre. 4.9/10
The Midwife’s Tale is something new in WLW movie canon, a bedtime story. And it’s not just new, but well executed and not-so-subtly radical in its themes of queerness, feminism and reproductive health in medieval and modern times.
With everything that’s happening right now it’s not exactly the time for a movie such as this. But as has become apparent to me, it is never gonna be the time for this. And I fear that Kiss Me Kosher only gets less funny as time goes on. 5.0/10
Jules of Light and Dark has much in common with its protagonist. Both are vague, aimless and don’t evoke any strong emotion in me as a viewer. 3.6/10
having seen numerous of these toxic female relationship films, Heartbeast’s artistic merits and gripping atmosphere kept me on the edge of my seat. That’s what I want a thriller to do and that’s often something I miss from this subgenre. 6.7/10
Over Easy shows a strong understanding of what is realistically possible for a film with a small budget. It is a small, focused story with funny moments. However, I worry the story might actually be too small to fill out a feature film. 5.1/10
